New Coat of Arms of the Faculty of In-humanities, Tom Putman, 2020
The Faculty of In-humanities consists of artists, scholars and researchers and was founded in January 2018 by Dean Ton Kruse.

The Faculty is based in R.S.O.L. (Room for the Study Of Loneliness), Deventer, the Netherlands. ⇲

Research of the Faculty is grouped around the following subjects:
  • the place and status of artists and art in contemporary society
  • the nature, working and meaning of the work of art in general and in particular
  • the nature, working and meaning of artisthood in general and in particular
  • contemporary art as a discerned mode for understanding and doing art

The Faculty wants to function as a catalyst for interaction, co-operation and concurrence of research done by both artists and scholars.

The names of partners will not be listed online, except on their own request on occasion.

The Faculty functions on the personal commitment and professional dedication of its partners and solely deals with matters intrinsic to the practice.

l’ 1%, c’est moi by A. Fraser
'Zulke ervaringen en gedachten maakten mij (...) eenzaam omdat ik er niet over kon praten. Ik had er (...) geen woorden voor. En toen ik die wel kreeg, vonden die geen weerklank in mijn omgeving. (...) Mij helpt het om eenzaamheid te duiden als een verlangen naar transformatie. De kunst wordt dan (...) in beweging (...)  komen. (...) De binnenwereld van een ander kun je (...) niet betreden. In die zin zijn wij eenzame wezens. Maar het bijzondere (...) is dat wij wel kunnen verlangen naar het kennen van de binnenwereld van een ander. Dat verlangen is 'mooi'. In dat verlangen schuilt schoonheid.' M. Slob, Volkskrant 21-12-2020

'Out of order' is an installation piece done by four Faculty partners, including the Dean. It was done on request for an artist's collective in Berlin, that was participating in an international biennial with their space. The parts of the piece were sent to the collective with instructions for implementation. Due to deficiencies in its presentation by the collective, it was then withdrawn by the Faculty. info  /  info  /  info  /  info
